🌹 When Keir Starmer was selected as Labour Party leader on 4th April 2020 there were no crowds, no grand speech. It was a very muted start.

Now after a year in the role, it seems that that low-key beginning has become his leadership style

A year of Keir: a thread 👇🧵
In our latest Telegraph analysis video, Chief Political Correspondent @christopherhope and Deputy Political Editor @LOS_Fisher examine his first year in office 👇

telegraph.co.uk/politics/2021/…
Taking over the party in the wake of Jeremy Corbyn left Starmer with many challenges, says @LOS_Fisher

He needed to:
📌 Shift the party nearer to the centre
📌 Root out antisemitism
📌 Rebuild Labour’s credibility on national security
🌹 However, most of the members who joined the party were loyal 'Corbynistas'

In the words of @ChristopherHope, ‘What Keir Starmer missed last September was a fight with the left'
🔴 Now Starmer is tackling Labour’s security credibility

In an exclusive interview with the Telegraph’s @benrileysmith, Sir Keir stressed that "we have not been clear enough and strong enough on things like policing and crime over recent years"

🔴 He said there’s no going back on Brexit

"There's no case for rejoining the EU and I've been very clear about that. The Remain-Leave debate is over.”
🔴 He’s determined to make his second year better than his first

"As we come out of year one into year two, I want to take the mask off and open the throttle," Sir Keir declared

👨‍👧 If you have a younger sibling, they are probably better at sports than you because of the little sibling advantage

🧵 Here's why your little brother or sister is more likely to have a standout sporting career 👇

telegraph.co.uk/sport/2021/03/…
The little sibling advantage in sport is rooted in how younger siblings are challenged more, while they also learn at an accelerated rate.

After months inside during a bleak winter, time in the sunshine could be just what the doctor ordered – but why is it so good for us?

🧵 Here's the science behind why the sun makes us feell so happy

🇬🇧🇪🇺 The City is starting to give up on the EU,

“It's looking increasingly like any form of financial services deal is a complete non-starter", writes @_BenWright_

Here’s a #thread of some of key lines from his latest column – 🧵👇 telegraph.co.uk/business/2021/…
💷💶 The UK and the EU are a step closer to a post-Brexit deal, agreeing to create a forum for cooperation on financial services regulation

"News that the UK and Brussels are close to agreeing a deal on financial regulation is, of course, to be welcomed."
🗳️ A partial “equivalence” agreement on financial products for the UK is said to be close.

"Whatever your view of Brexit, there can be little debate that the best trade agreement for the City of London was the one that it had before the UK voted to leave"
